London Chess Classic Tournament Rules 2019 London Chess Classic Tournament Rules 2019 Section A: General Rules for All Tournaments Rating and Grading All tournaments will be submitted to FIDE for rating and the English Chess Federation (ECF) for grading. It is a condition of playing in the London Chess Classic that the data submitted at the time of entry will be forwarded to the ECF and FIDE as required to enable the games played to be graded by the ECF, and rated by FIDE. Allocation of Ratings in All Sections The ratings used for each tournament will be in the following order of priority, where the following letters are: E ECF Grade (August 2019) Q ECF Rapidplay Grade (August 2019) F FIDE Rating (November 2019) R FIDE Rapidplay Rating (December 2019) B FIDE Blitz Rating (December 2019) FIDE Open FE Weekend Open FE Weekend Under 2050 FE Weekend Under 1825 FE Weekend Under 1600 FE 5-Day Under 2050 FE 5-Day Under 1750 FE English Open Women and Girls Rapid Championship RQFE Rapidplay Open RQFE Rapidplay Under 2050 RQFE Rapidplay Under 1825 RQFE Rapidplay Under 1600 RQFE Super Blitz BRQFE Where a player has none of these, the organisers will assign an estimate based on all available data on a case-by- case basis, failing which the player will be assigned a rating of 0. The conversion between ECF grades and FIDE ratings will be: FIDE Elo = (ECF x 7.5) + 700 The ratings allocated by this process will be used in the calculation of any relevant prizes. (See Prize Calculation below for more information.) Levels of Membership Required For Standard tournaments, all entrants must pay a £11 surcharge if they are not: (a) Gold or Platinum members of the ECF, or (b) Their FIDE nationality is any country other than England. For Rapidplay tournaments, all entrants must pay a £11 surcharge if they are not Silver, Gold or Platinum members of the ECF. Note that this applies irrespective of the FIDE nationality of the player. For the Super Blitz, no players are required to have membership of the ECF. Any players eligible for free entry to any tournament are not required to pay the rates quoted above. Obtaining a FIDE Identification Number All entrants must have a FIDE Identification Number at the time of submitting their entry, unless they wish their FIDE nationality to be England. English players without a FIDE Identification Number will have one created at the time the rating files are submitted by FIDE. Please note: At the time of writing, changing this nationality later costs 250 Euros.

The groups will be paired as Swiss system tournaments with 11 rounds. At the end of the 11 rounds, the top 4 players in each group will qualify for the Knockout Stage. D10 of the FIDE General Handling Rules for Swiss Tournaments states that pairings shall not be changed unless two players are paired against each other for a second time. In addition to that, published pairings will be changed if, in the previous round it was possible to verify that, (a) A result was recorded incorrectly (b) A game was played with the wrong colours (c) A game was played between players in the same group who were not due to play. In these cases, so long as the round has not started, the arbiter will amend the results of the previous round to reflect the results of the games that were played, and the pairings shall be re-produced. For the purpose of this rule, the round is deemed to have started when he or she has issued the instruction that the games in that group for that round may start.

Reflections on Jesus Christ Superstar Mark Goodacre University of Birmingham, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Goodacre, Mark (1999) "Do You Think You're What They Say You Are? Reflections on Jesus Christ Superstar," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 3 : Iss. 2 , Article 2. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol3/iss2/2 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Do You Think You're What They Say You Are? Reflections on Jesus Christ Superstar Abstract Jesus Christ Superstar (dir. Norman Jewison, 1973) is a hybrid which, though influenced yb Jesus films, also transcends them. Its rock opera format and its focus on Holy Week make it congenial to the adaptation of the Gospels and its characterization of a plausible, non-stereotypical Jesus capable of change sets it apart from the traditional films and aligns it with The Last Temptation of Christ and Jesus of Montreal. It uses its depiction of Jesus as a means not of reverence but of interrogation, asking him questions by placing him in a context full of overtones of the culture of the early 1970s, English-speaking West, attempting to understand him by converting him into a pop-idol, with adoring groupies among whom Jesus struggles, out of context, in an alien culture that ultimately crushes him, crucifies him and leaves him behind.

  • Honours Thesis Game Theory and the Metaphor of Chess in the Late Cold
    Honours Thesis Game Theory and the Metaphor of Chess in the late Cold War Period o Student number: 6206468 o Home address: Valeriaan 8 3417 RR Montfoort o Email address: [email protected] o Type of thesis/paper: Honours Thesis o Submission date: March 29, 2020 o Thesis supervisor: Irina Marin ([email protected]) o Number of words: 18.291 o Page numbers: 55 Abstract This thesis discusses how the game of chess has been used as a metaphor for the power politics between the United States of America and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, particularly the period of the Reagan Doctrine (1985-1989). By looking at chess in relation to its visual, symbolic and political meanings, as well in relation to game theory and the key concepts of polarity and power politics, it argues that, although the ‘chess game metaphor’ has been used during the Cold War as a presentation for the international relations between the two superpowers in both cultural and political endeavors, the allegory obscures many nuances of the Cold War. Acknowledgment This thesis has been written roughly from November 2019 to March 2020. It was a long journey, and in the end my own ambition and enthusiasm got the better of me. The fact that I did three other courses at the same time can partly be attributed to this, but in many ways, I should have kept my time-management and planning more in check. Despite this, I enjoyed every moment of writing this thesis, and the subject is still captivating to me.

  • “Bo Diddley” and “I'm a Man” (1955)
    “Bo Diddley” and “I’m a Man” (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2011 Essay by Ed Komara (guest post)* Bo Diddley While waiting in Bo Diddley’s house to conduct an interview for the February 12, 1987 issue of “Rolling Stone,” journalist Kurt Loder noticed a poster. “If You Think Rock and Roll Started With Elvis,” it proclaimed, “You Don’t Know Diddley.” This statement seems exaggerated, but upon listening to Diddley’s April 1955 debut 78 on Checker 814, “Bo Diddley” backed with “I’m A Man,” it becomes apt, perhaps even understated. Bo Diddley (1928-2008) described his own place in music history to Loder. “People wouldn’t even bother with no stuff like ‘Bo Diddley’ and ‘I’m A Man’ and stuff like that ten years earlier [circa 1945] or even a year earlier [1954]. Then Leonard and Phil Chess decided to take a chance, and suddenly a whole different scene, a different kind of music, came in. And that was the beginning of rock and roll.” The composer credit for Checker 814 reads “E. McDaniels,” and there begins the tale. Bo Diddley was born Ellas Otha Bates in McComb, Mississippi on December 30, 1928 to a teenage mother and her local boyfriend. He was raised, however, by his maternal first cousin, Gussie McDaniel, to whom he was taken to Chicago, and given her surname McDaniel. He grew up on the South Side of the city, where he learned violin, trombone and, at age 12, the guitar. Before long, he was playing for change on the local streets.

  • There's a New Game in Winnipeg and It's Ready for a Match Ethereal Fant
    There’s A New Game in Winnipeg and It’s Ready for a Match Ethereal Fantazy Productions is thrilled to present the Western Canadian premiere of the British and original version of Chess, the Musical, as part of the 2015 Winnipeg Fringe Festival. Chess develops the ancient and distinguished game of chess into a metaphor for romantic rivalries and US-Soviet political tensions during the Cold War. The game is set when a love triangle grows between two world renowned chess grandmasters- the self-absorbed American, the passionate Russian- and Florence, the pawn between these, who manages one yet falls in love with other, tearing apart alliances and families. Based on the real life world chess championship entitled “Match of the Century”, Fischer vs. Korchnoi, Chess features an incredibly talented cast and a monumental rock score by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (Mamma Mia), formerly part of ABBA, and lyrics by notorious Tim Rice (Aida, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar) that has politicians, lovers and players making their moves to its pulse in this Winnipeg premiere that will take your from Italy to Thailand and will show you that there’s nothing black and white about this game except the game board.

  • Football Chess Winner
    Winner New Game Design Competition Chess and Mathematics Conference, London Olympia, Dec 6/7 2014 Football Chess Tatiana Ogneva ([email protected]) www.virtualchess.ru Director, Chess School“Etud”, Moscow, Russia 1. Introduction This game combines elements of chess and football. The sports theme makes it attractive to a wider range of children. The objective is easier to understand than in chess. Playing the game requires learning how each piece moves. The game has been successfully tested on primary school children. 2. Set up Start as in a normal chess game but remove the Pawns and Kings leaving seven pieces each. The goal area for the white team is on squares e1 and d1 and for the black team is on e8 and d8. The ball (e.g. a marker) is located on one of the centre (e4, d4, e5, d5) squares. Each time the game is played the ball must be placed on a different centre square. The starting position with the ball on e4. 3. Pieces and Moves The pieces move as in chess. In the Arrangement stage, starting with White, the players take turns to move until seven moves have been completed - one move by each piece. Capturing is forbidden at this stage. Pieces can move to any unoccupied square on their own side of the board together with the centre squares. The players seek to set up their pieces in preparation for the subsequent football game. After the Arrangement Stage, capturing capability is restored. To move the ball, it is necessary to occupy the same square as the ball (“control the ball”).
